Done With 90 Day Fiancé and Dressed Like Lara Croft — Shekinah’s Survival Show Gamble Has Fans Picking Sides

One day you’re getting a facelift. The next, you’re asking the internet whether you should be dropped in the jungle naked. Shekinah Garver has officially left the 90 Day Fiancé universe behind — and her next act is the last thing anyone expected. After declaring she was “done” with the TLC franchise this summer, the former med spa owner dressed up as Lara Croft, posted an Instagram poll, and asked fans to vote on which survival reality show she should apply for: Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test or Naked and Afraid. And just like that, the fandom split in two.

The Lara Croft Poll That Split the Fandom

On October 14, Shekinah posted Instagram Stories photos of herself cosplaying Tomb Raider’s Lara Croft — tactical gear and all — and asked fans to vote between two brutal survival shows. According to reports, fan insider account Shabooty screenshotted the poll and shared it, and it spread fast. Important note: this was not a casting announcement. No network has confirmed anything. It was Shekinah publicly thinking out loud about applying — and the fandom treated it like a season premiere. Team Special Forces says the military-style discipline suits her perfectionist streak. Team Naked and Afraid says the raw jungle format is the perfect rebrand after years of med-spa glam. The comment sections are already a war zone.

Everything We Know: The Timeline From “Done” to Lara Croft

This did not come out of nowhere. In summer 2026, Shekinah told The Ashley’s Reality Roundup she was done with the franchise, saying The Last Resort had caused more trouble in her marriage to Sarper Güven than it solved — she even skipped the Season 3 Tell All. Then came the mic drop: “Adonis and I have declined all future involvement with said network,” she wrote, referring to Sarper by his middle name. Months of quiet followed. Now, the Lara Croft poll marks her first public flirtation with reality TV outside TLC. From swearing off the network to shopping for a far more brutal stage — the arc is pure Shekinah: dramatic, deliberate, and impossible to ignore.

Could She Actually Hack It? Fans Debate

Here is where the debate gets serious. According to reports, Shekinah has claimed she has real survival skills and even lived off-grid when she was younger — a far cry from the woman fans watched get cosmetic procedures on camera. The skeptics are not buying it: Naked and Afraid veterans endure starvation, insects, and exposure with nothing but a knife, and Special Forces breaks former athletes in days. Supporters fire back that Shekinah has survived years of fandom scrutiny, a transatlantic relationship, and televised therapy. “Shekinah doesn’t break, she rebrands,” one fan wrote. Both shows would demand she ditch the glam completely. The real question: would she?

What About Sarper?

While Shekinah plots a wilderness era, her husband’s name keeps surfacing. According to reports, Sarper has been rumored to be filming Single Life with a TLC crew spotted at a bar — a twist that would make their “done with the network” narrative complicated. Neither has confirmed a split. So is the survival-show poll a solo rebrand, a couple’s pivot, or the beginning of two very separate TV futures? Stay tuned.

From the med spa to the jungle — is Shekinah about to become reality TV’s most unexpected survivalist, or is this the wildest bluff of her career? If you had to vote in her poll, which show are you picking: Special Forces or Naked and Afraid? Drop your take in the comments — and tell us why.
